2) Mix and Match Sizes of Pendulum Clock Movements to get a better price.

Replacement movements 12/26/2018
By Michael D Robben
Searching for replacement clock movements, lead me to Bear Woods Supply Co. Their movements appeared to be of better quality, larger battery (C not AA), more features and options. Since this movement was to be supported by the dial face, I had to re-enforce the dial/movement with thin piece of wood (paint stir stick.) I was able to use the old banjo pendulum- fits perfectly on pendulum motor hanger. Movement keep accurate time, chimes a nice tone. No problems ! Will I purchase from Bear Woods Supply again ? Yes !

Completely satisfied 10/29/2018
By Paul Barrett
We have been completely satisfied with the service from Bear Woods Supply in providing the ordered parts. We are delighted with our rebuilt clock. We have had this clock for many years and did not want to have to get rid of the clock cabinet as we really like the design. We are pleased with the result. We found your web site helpful. Thank you.

good service 04/04/2020
By Joseph Anderson
I appreciate your prompt service. The Westminster movement appears identical to the one it replaced. My only disappointment is the chimes; they are low volume, and quite off key; very poor compared to the original, which we've had for 31 years, which we received from friends on our 25th anniversary. I have disconnected the speaker.

Well Done 01/03/2018
By William Lewis
I ordered a replacement movement for a clock I had made years ago. It was noticed that I didn’t take advantage of the free clock hands offer and was contacted about it. It was great to see that someone cared enough to check into it as opposed to sending what was ordered. Excellent service! Scrollin Jim

Great quality 02/27/2023
By Michael Cheatham
The experience with your company was great as far as ordering and tge shipping was everything promised. However, I was unable to use the movement due to the shaft being too short. I should have measured better.

This replacement movement was easy to install and fit into the old clock with a minimum of fuss. It was probably better than the original.

The sound is little out of tune. I would prefer a simpler chime, just a ding on the half and the full time and count on the hour.
